Heat loss with finishers/heavy moves

[Rocky McRockerson]

So, I've noticed in the Swordsman style after doing a finisher or anything that uses the heavy attack button (Y for Xbox, in my case) it consumes heat if I spam the button or press it at the wrong time, even if it doesn't do anything. I first noticed it when trying to do the "Grim Waking" move which I can't seem to do, every time I try I just lose half a heat bar and nothing happens.

That does sound like a failed attempt to pull Brief Slumber into Grim Walking, which is a bit tricky at first.

It's hard to say without a video but you might be burning Heat for a few frames of hyper-poise. When it works it should be sort of like what happens on the first Y when you do X,X,X,X,(hold)Y,Y.

That does sound like what could be happening, but it happens on finishers as well, I can pull off the fourth Hold Y, Y thing without consuming heat, but if I hold Y and spam Y after I consume heat.

Just found out that it seems Grim Waking doesn't play a different animation or add another attack onto Brief Slumber - it just increases the damage of Brief Slumber if you trigger it correctly. Odd way to explain it, but glad I found out now. Still facing that weird finishing heat consumption though.

FPS limited to 120, but I haven't noticed stuff like that. Maybe I will limit to 60.

Just for reference in case someone else stumbles upon this later on: In case of finishers, the problem is that you activate the Rush Combo Tempest skill, it works exactly the same way as Grim Walking. It's really annoying, because i haven't found a way to reliably use greater finishing blow (4 light, charged heavy followed by heavy attack) without spending heat on it.
